Tanager of the Day: Beryl-spangled Tanager 📷 Andres Vasquez Noboa
Photo of bird perched on a branch, description from ebird: ‘Small tanager found in Andean subtropical zone from Venezuela to Bolivia. Unmistakable: entire body boldly spotted with bright blue-green, sharply contrasting with black mask and back. No other tanager has such a spangled appearance. Sexes alike. A fairly common member of mixed flocks from around 1,500–2,500 m, within forest and also at edges or in second growth.’

some speculation on Taylor’s security operation in the best @swiftonsecurity.com fashion
I do have a small theory about the odd way this deluxe is rolling out (with the CD singles, then the announcement, but no physical deluxe announcement as yet). I think Taylor is probably trying to figure out where the leaks are in her pipeline for album thirteen (and maybe also have a trial “pre-launch” single to see if she wants to do that for that album). Aside from Mr. S on ATRL, nobody seems to have had an inkling this deluxe was coming.¹

What Taylor would want to stop (I surmise) are the leaks of lyrics, songs, and anything else that’s supposed to be a surprise or experienced in context. With Showgirl, she seemed pretty resigned to the leaks when the rollout was happening. Still… she might like to keep a tighter lid on her thirteenth album. folklore was able to be an almost complete surprise² because she did not have to have physical albums shipping the week of release for chart purposes.³ The Midnights 3AM and TTPD: Anthology releases were also total surprises because they were released straight to streaming, but the base albums leaked. Wherever the leaks happen in her process, it’s on the physical production side. For “I Knew It, I Knew You,” Taylor also avoided leaks, but she was going through Disney, and I assume Disney has security so good it’s kind of scary. Disney’s vinyl pressing plants are probably run by Mickey Mouse clones with their vocal cords removed and their eyes gouged out.

centring mathematical voices
Their criticisms highlight the need for thoughtful engagement of Al companies with the math community. To that end, we're working with mathematicians who have established an independent mathematics advisory group. This group will serve as a bridge to the mathematical community and broader public, giving
mathematicians a voice in how we move forward.

from The Fateful Sphere of Pascal by Borges:

For one man, for Giordano Bruno, the rupture of the stellar vaults was a liberation. He proclaimed, in the Cena de la ceneri, that the world is the infinite effect of an infinite cause, and that divinity is close by, "for it is within us even more than we ourselves are within ourselves." He searched for words to tell men of Copernican space, and on one famous page he inscribed: "We can assert with certitude that the universe is all center, or that the center of the universe is everywhere and the circumference nowhere" (Delia causa, principio ed uno, V).

This phrase was written with exultation, in 1584, still in the light of the Renaissance; seventy years later there was no reflection of that fervor left and men felt lost in time and space. In time, because if the future and the past are infinite, there can not really be a when; in space, because if every being is equidistant from the infinite and the infinitesimal, neither can there be a where. No one exists on a certain day, in a certain place; no one knows the size of his own countenance.

reminded that Gaudium et Spes is bonkers
15. Man judges rightly that by his intellect he surpasses the material universe, for he shares in the light of the divine mind. By relentlessly employing his talents through the ages he has indeed made progress in the practical sciences and in technology and the liberal arts. In our times he has won superlative victories, especially in his probing of the material world and in subjecting it to himself. Still he has always searched for more penetrating truths, and finds them. For his intelligence is not confined to observable data alone, but can with genuine certitude attain to reality itself as knowable, though in consequence of sin that certitude is partly obscured and weakened.

The intellectual nature of the human person is perfected by wisdom and needs to be, for wisdom gently attracts the mind of man to a quest and a love for what is true and good. Steeped in wisdom. man passes through visible realities to those which are unseen.

Our era needs such wisdom more than bygone ages if the discoveries made by man are to be further humanized. For the future of the world stands in peril unless wiser men are forthcoming.

Astra is our most aligned model, with substantial improvements in understanding user intent and model behavior—you can delegate tasks with greater confidence in Astra’s judgment. As one way that we test this, we built a new evaluation informed by the Hugging Face incident that evaluates whether a model facing a difficult or impossible task will go beyond its intended scope. Compared to GPT‑5.6 Sol, which without production safeguards went beyond the authorized target 48% of the time, GPT‑6 Astra did this in 0% of cases.
